Abstract
This paper explores the incentive schemes that have been used by cyberlockers, and examines to what extent they have helped to foster the current environment. This short paper also presents a preliminary economic analysis of incentives in cyberlockers based on measurement results from three different types of sites related to cyberlockers- a search engine, a discussion forum, and a popular cyberlocker site.
